i Application filed :December lThis invention relatesl to a receptacle of the type more especially adapted to contain cards, licenses, receipts,.stamps or the like, to be carried about by the user in a pocket of 5 thep'ersonal clothing; and 'has for its'object to providea receptacle of this character having an outer casing and an inner member slidingly telescoping in said casing with its side walls unattached along one edge to per- 1o mit an inherent resiliency of the sheet stoel; to separate them and cause the sidewalls to irictionally engage the inner surface of the outer casing to retain thecasing and its inner slidable member in different positions of ad- -5 justment.

A further object of the invention is to provide a yielding frictional engagement so that an even sliding movement is maintained between the two relatively sliding parts.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features oi' construction, asl will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. 1

In the accompanying drawings: y Figure 1 is a perspective view; showing the inner member extending partially out of its casing. f y n Figure 2isa perspective view of the outer 30 casing.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the inner sliding member. 'l

It is 'found of advantage in the construction of receipt cases of the type here ydisclosed, to provide a` resilient frictional engagement betweenuthe'twov sliding parts so that these'may be held in different positions y yoi adjustment and by which an even sliding movement4 of the two parts may be maintained; and the followinglis a detailed de- Figure 7 is a sectional side view on line scription oi' the present embodiment of this 10,1926.` serial No.1' 15s,9s5.

edge walls 13 and 14 and one end wall ,16 to which a suitable attaching 4piece 18iscon-v nected for receiving a ribbon, cord, orthe like to suspend the samefrom the yneck or' 'the wearer, the opposite end of the casing being left open as at 19 through whicli'slides the inner article holding member 2O formed ofsheet stock having a top wall 21, Abottom wall 22, side walls 23 and 2e and end walls 25 and 26. It will be seen that theend wall 26 extends beyondv the sides and edges of the f slidable article holdingmember to abut the ends oi the walls oithe'casing and fform a stop for the insertion of the article holding member into thecasing and also `to complete and give a more inish'ed appearance 'to the receptacle when the two ftelescoped positions.

A inger piece 27 vis attached lto the slide member 20 and extends outwardly through a slot 15 in the edge 141 of the casing for manual manipulation or' the slide in and out of its casing. The edge wall 24- of they slide is split as at 28 and the inherent resiliency or' the folded stock tends to separatethe side walls 21 and 22 at the split portion, whereby these 'side walls yieldingly, rictionally engage the inner surface of the casing 10 and hold the slide member 2O in different adj usted positions relative thereto.

Y The top wall of the slide member is'cut away vas at 29 to provide an entering opening for access to the interior of the slide member through which stamps, licenses and other small articles may be positioned on the slide member for protection when being carv ried in the pocket of the wearer.

From the foregoing it will be observed that Igliave provided an extremely simple and yetpractical construction which may be conveniently carried about in the pocket of the Vwearer or suspended by a cord or ribbon and which will protect articles carried thereby from being multilated or lost in being carried about in the pocket of the user.

The foregoing description is. directed solelyr towards the construction illustrated,

but I desire it to kbe understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all lthe mechaniparts are in their,

ahle through said open end and having` top, bottom side :ind end Walls with :in opening in said top Wall for the insertion of an larticle und with one of its edge Walls longitudinal- 'v ly split7 the inherent tension of the stock l?? outer 'dimension suhstnntially that of the inner dimension of the casing to tit therein and slide through saidw open end, a finger piece on said member extendingthrough Said slot for manuallysliding Said member in and out of said casing, the side Walls of seid casing being una-ttaohed along one edge and havingl a. tendency due to an inherent resilienoy of the stoel; to Spread apart and cause the side Walls to friotionally engage the Walls of the casing whereby said member is held in its relative positions in the casingn at different points along` the extent. of its slidingl movement. n

ln testimony whereof I alix my signature.
